Online Textbook on Holocaust
This project aims to introduce children to the history of Holocaust – the racial discrimination and the persecution of Jews, Roma and others.
What the project should offer:
1. comprehensible material – authentic digitalized documents, photographs and videos with accompanying commentary
2. material interconnected with related information
3. documents with voice outputs – videos that provide the possibility to read and at the same time to listen to the content of a document from this period of time– newspaper articles, reports, memoirs etc.
The historical education on Holocaust is not only about the Jewish community and other persecuted minorities, but also about the perpetrators, those responsible for the discrimination and the persecution and about bystanders as well. The necessity of a discourse about the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and racism arises from those who spread or practise the ideologies.
The outcomes of the first project phase are accessible on holocaust.cz .
